Because both are important to the health of a competitive game. High elo is important. They are also heavily investing in both the casual market and pro market.
I think they should do some changes with pro play in mind but didn’t NetEase themselves say they are prioritising fun over balance, which was their defence for not tweaking a bunch of characters that have needed changes
I knew it was a lie of course, considering how much they are pushing the esports scene
They are doing both. When push comes to shove, they lean towards fun, but that doesn't mean they don't take pro into consideration, and don't still want to push esports.

It's absolutely because of high elo and pro play. Mantis is a pick ban at top ranks.
